Founded over two hundred years ago, the business has remained a family company and combines exquisite craftsmanship with the finest traditional values.
History
Founded as Boodle and Dunthorne, Boodles dates from 1798 when its first shop opened in Liverpool. In 1910 it amalgamated with the Wainwright family, owners of another jewellers in Liverpool and has remained with them ever since. Boodles grew to be Liverpool's most prominent jeweller in the 20th century and opened stores in Chester in 1965 and Manchester in 1982. In 1992 Nicholas and Michael Wainwright took control from their father, opening several showrooms in London and growing the company to become the brand it is today. Recent years have seen the launch of several ‘Wonderland’ high-jewellery collections, and in 2008, the Boodles Raindance ring was selected to appear in the V&A’s permanent jewellery collection. 2010 saw the opening of a stylish new boutique within one of London’s most iconic hotels, the Savoy and most recently the company has unveiled a new look concession within the new jewellery hall in Harrods as well as a refreshed E-commerce website.
For the past decade Boodles have hosted an exclusive tennis tournament, The Boodles, at Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire and organised a unique biennial society sporting event, The Boodles Boxing Ball, with all the proceeds going to charity.
